We are going to introduce to you a new cooler from Prolimatech and talk about the best cooling solutions and their performance on Intel Core i7 platform. Read our review including twelve products from Cooler Master, Noctua, Prolimatech, Scythe, ThermoLab, Thermalright, Thermaltake and Zalman.

Acoustic Tests

The results of our acoustic measurements are given on the diagram below:

The subjective comfort zone embraces five coolers including Cooler Master V8 at its minimal fan rotation speed. Then come coolers and fans with medium noise: this group starts with Thermalright AXP-140 at 1150RPM and finishes with Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 with two fans at 1380RPM. All other testing participants turned out pretty noisy, so you will hardly be able to stay around them for a long time without feeling any discomfort.
